Original text and translations

Italian text Invidioso Amor del mio bel stato e del riposo mio, sdegnoso prese l'arme sue in man e tosto l'arco tese e contra me si fece tutto armato. Io che da lui giamai non fui più offeso, incauto ne restai ferito e preso. E col bel mezzo d'un sereno volto il mio voler e non voler m'ha tolto.

English translation Love, envious of my happy state and jealous of my repose, disdainfully took up his arms in hand and swiftly stretched taut his bow, and, fully armed, attacked me. I, who never before had been more injured by him, imprudently by this was wounded and captured. And by the lovely contrivance of a fair face, my will has been stolen from me. Translation by Allen Garvin
